The network’s still doing well so CBS is playing it safe once again this fall. The Tiffany network is introducing very few new shows this year and sticking with most of the old favorites. Here’s what won’t be back for the 2007-08 season:
Armed & Famous – The short-lived celebrity cop show was pulled from the air back in January. All existing episodes have been aired on VH1 or CBS and there won’t be any more.
The Class – This show was devoutly loved by its fans but they were too few in number. CBS is committed to one night of comedy which means four sitcom slots. CBS chose to try one new series and renew four others with higher ratings than The Class
Close to Home – This crime drama has been rumored to be in trouble for months and, unfortunately, the rumors were true. The final episode (#44) aired last Friday.
Jericho – The Skeet Ulrich drama about a small town following a nuclear disaster started off strong but lost viewers when it returned from hiatus. The series finale aired on May 9th, 2007. Episodes are available via iTunes and from Amazon.com.
The King of Queens – The Kevin James sitcom ended its run on Monday night after nine seasons and 207 episodes. Over 13 million watched.
Smith – The Ray Liotta series was the first to go after airing just three episodes. All seven episodes are available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
3 lbs – The Stanley Tucci medical drama replaced Smith and lasted just three episodes. Tucci has been cast in a regular role on NBC’s ER however. All eight episodes are available via Amazon.com
Waterfront – Remember this one? The drama starring Joe Pantoliano as a colorful mayor in Providence, R.I.? Five episodes were completed but it was canned before even one episode aired. Talk about a fast cancellation…
Returning series are: Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Ghost Whisperer, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, Numb3rs, Rules of Engagement, Shark, 60 Minutes, Survivor, Two and a Half Men, The Unit and Without a Trace.
The Amazing Race and The New Adventures of Old Christine will return midseason (January) or earlier. Stay tuned!

CBS should removed nightly news with Katie Couric and replace `it with Jerico! I believe there ratings will go sky high!!!
I am completely saddened and outraged that CBS would cancel a quality work of art which is “Close to Home”. I stumbled upon this show after Ghost Whisperer last September 06 and have been wowed by Jennifer Finnigan’s Oscar-caliber performances! She has got to be the finest actress on current network television. When I watched my first episode of Close to Home, Jennifer’s acting seemed to be on “par” and reminiscent of a young Jody Foster in the “Accused” and “Silence of the Lambs”! And I am compelled to say, perhaps even BETTER than Jodi Foster! I hope and pray… Read more »
I am mad that THE CLASS is cancelled. I love that show. The only shows that I even watch on CBS are How I Met Your Mother and The Class. I hate that the stupid reality tv has taken over all of tv. It’s as if no one in the nation has creativity or imagination anymore!

3. PICK CATEGORY “CLOSE TO HOME”
4. TYPE MESSAGE TO CBS (Why they should SAVE THE SHOW!!!) EASY!
What was CBS thinking? 1 season was not enough to get the fan base for The Class. I truly believe that it would have lasted for many more seasons if they just gave it a chance. Friends didn’t start off all that strong either and it lasted 10 seasons-Some other station needs to pick it up and give it a chance…PLEASE!!!!!!
What happened to the show
Pirate Master? It shifted nights and then was gone. We were left up in the air.
I can’t believe you cancelled Jericho, you really wanted to dump it, you found any means to cancell it to put on junk, we all know we live in a world that anything can happen in this case it is a great possibility it can happen. you only put it back on because the viewers uproar that it was cancelled, and you found what ever means possible to dump it, shame on you, as far as we are concerned, your network sucks big time
The Class was one of my favorite shows!! Please don’t cancel it! I really want to see more! I really think this is a big mistake
i can not believe that cbs cancelled close to home and the class how ironic the two shows that I love to watch on cbs are now gone ,I PROBABLY WILL WATCH any channel now except for cbs , you really made a big mistake with myself and many of my friends as we now go to another channel, we will not miss cbs for all the mistakes u make .
HEY CBS WAKE UP IF ANY OF YOU AIRHEADS UP THERE IN YOUR GLASS TOWERS CARE ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR VIEWERS TAKE NOTE AT HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE ALONE ARE THROUGH WITH YOUR NETWORK OVER THE CLASS, AND YOU CAN COUNT ME AS ONE OF THEM
PLEASE BRING BACK THE CLASS..IT WAS SO REFRESHING AND FUNNY. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
i hate cbs! mondays are usually the worst day of the week, but i always looked forward to the line-up on cbs. and of all the shows on tv The Class was my favorite! i only waatched the other shows because there was nothing else on. i watched it faithfully week after week with my mom and couldn’t wait for the second season! they really f***ed up this time! i hope that aanother station adopts The Class and it becomes the hit its meant to be. then CBS can watch and kick thetmselves in the head while they fall apart.
WOW I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU CANCELED THE PRIRATE SHOW.
SO MANY PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER IN GROUPS TO WATCH IT AND THEN COMPARED THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT HOW THE SHOW WENT.
CANCELED SHOWS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM??? COME ON CBS .
USE SOME SENCE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE FIRED. I’M THRU WITH YOU AND ANY NEW SHOW YOU
MAY COME UP WITH. WHY WATCH ANYTHING ON CBS. YOU WILL CANCEL THEM ANYWAY.
I was not surprised to find the Close to Home cancellation info. They trashed the show in the second season when they took out the human element. Killed her husband and traded believable lawyers for NY City slicks. Made it too impersonal to call it ‘close to home’. Loved the first season though. almost never watched the second. Pay attention CBS!
Only 2 seasons for Close to Home can’t some other network take it. that was a really great show. Please CBS bring back Close to Home, b/c we all know that those new shows won’t last a year. so if that happens you bring back Close to Home.
